Scheduling Service Startup
Our goal is to take the least amount of time possible with start-up so we can begin making your appointment calls sooner.
Steps to take
Our Start-up Process
Recently, I went through a job change after working with The Appointment Biz for three years. Not only were they able to come with me, but made my transition to the new firm easy and seamless.
Throughout my career, working with The Appointment Biz has allowed me to spend my time working in my territory with the confidence that my schedule will be filled.
Email #1: Paperwork
Email #2: Contact Data
Directions for providing information on your team, territory and how to submit your data file, calendar and rotation.
Phone Call
A detailed start-up phone call with your scheduling partner to go over the information gathered in the previous steps.
Ongoing Interaction
We make outbound calls, fill your schedule and provide feedback about our calls. You communicate back to your scheduler the value of meetings, any changes to your travel blocking or schedule, and client updates.

Planning for Success
How can I prepare?
Have your rotation and loops in order. The more information your scheduler has about your travel plans, the more successful we can be in securing forward scheduling.
It helps if the contact list is ranked. The wholesaler or the internal should handle all cold calls and prospecting.
Remember to touch base with your scheduler when you have a bit of windshield or airport time. A quick phone call to review the calendar and efficacy of activity will help your scheduler stay productive. We need your feedback to improve meeting quality.
We are a team and interactive scheduling leads to a full calendar. You can easily secure future meetings as you finish an appointment, while your internal may add activity as a result of prospecting calls.
Start thinking about your schedulers role on your team. Stay in communication with your scheduler about changes to your calendar, FA relationships, goals, rotation, vacations, and all other business that may impact your schedule.
